Bharati Cements in legal wrangle against AP

Bharati Cements has approached the Hyderabad High Court, alleging that the state has been “creating hurdles” against the company setting up a plant in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh. The company alleged that the District Collector was “delaying” the holding of a public meeting in the matter “at the behest of his political bosses.” Bharati Cements said that the public hearing needed to be held urgently as the company was not in a position to retain the Letter of Intent issued by the authorities for long.
